Notice of Intent To prepare a Recreation Area
Management Plan and an Amendment to the Gunnison
Resource Management Plan for the Hartman Rocks
Recreation Area


AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.


ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a Recreation Area
Management Plan
(RAMP) and an amendment to the Gunnison Resource
Management Plan (RMP)
for the Hartman Rocks Recreation Area in Gunnison
County, Colorado.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) intends
to prepare a RAMP
with an associated Environmental Assessment (EA) for
the Hartman Rocks
area near Gunnison, Colorado. The planning area
encompasses
approximately 10,000 acres of public land. This
proposed action is
being taken in response to increasing use and the
changing needs and
interests of public land users of this popular
recreation area located
near the city of Gunnison. The BLM will work
collaboratively with
interested parties to identify the management
decisions that


[[Page 6762]]


are best suited to local, regional, and national needs
and concerns.
The public scoping process will identify planning
issues and develop
planning criteria, including an evaluation of the
existing management
direction in the context of the needs and interests of
the public. It
is probable that the collaborative planning process
will recommend
changes to the Gunnison RMP for this area so this
notice provides for
this contingency. If desired management actions
identified in the
planning process can be carried out within the
existing guidance of the
RMP then an RMP Amendment will not be necessary.


DATES: This notice initiates the public scoping
process. Comments on
issues and planning criteria may be submitted in
writing to the address
listed below and will be accepted throughout the
creation of the Draft
RAMP/Draft EA. All public meetings will be announced
through the local
news media, newsletters, and other mediums at least 15
days prior to
the event. The minutes and list of attendees for each
meeting will be
available to the public and open for 30 days to any
participant who
wishes to clarify the views they expressed. Public
meetings will be
held throughout the plan scoping and preparation
period. To ensure
local community participation and input, public
meetings will be
scheduled at times that are convenient for the public
to attend. Early
participation is encouraged to help determine the
future management of
the Hartman Rocks Recreation Area.
